HPX-170 Outer Lens Diameter - Mattebox Adapter Rings

[Segarza]

Hi guys!

I should be getting my HPX-170 tomorrow. I've read the lens is physically smaller than the HVX's, having a 72mm filter thread vs the HVX's 82mm filter thread. Does anyone know the outer diameter of the lens?

I would like to be able to use my Chrosziel Mattebox. With the HVX I use a 110:91mm adapter that slides on over where the lens hood hooks up. I would assume the HPX would be much smaller than 91mm. Does anyone know? Can't find it on the specs. I could wait to get the camera and measure, but it'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out so I can order the adapter ring today.

Best regards,

I believe that the HPX-170 uses the same bayonet mount as the DVX100. One would assume that the outer diameter would be the same, but since a bunch of users now have HPX-170s, hopefully one of them can chime in to confirm.
